Ah yes, the famous dash up the channel. Caught the Brits by surprise.
Free? What makes YOU think WE don't pay taxes?
Oh yes, many of them do.
Do a search and find Chris Cardiff's excellent piece "Seduction of Homeschooling Families" and read how the government schools are bribing those who bolted the system to come back and enroll in "independent study programs", in which they're entitled to a fixed amount of cash per kid....cash for music lessons, ski trips, art class, curricula and supplies, etc....cash that these families become addicted to and as a result of accepting this money the schools set down "requirements" and "standards" that must be met. Government is moving in on homeschooling by this "nose under the tent" tactic.
It's unfortunately changing the attitude of homeschoolers from "get out of my face" to "where's my money?".
